  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon easy blend dried yeast
  • 300 ml warm semi-skimmed milk

  • Mix together with a wooden spoon
  • With your hands, pull all the ingredients together
  • Put the dough on your work surface and start to knead
  • If it is slightly sticky use just your fingers to begin with
  • Once the dough is easier to handle, use the heel of your hand to push the dough away, then pull back towards you.

  • Once it is smooth add the fruit and ginger by slowly kneading it in.
  • Shape the dough to your tin and put in the tin to prove
  • Cover and keep in a warm place until it has doubled in size - about 90 minutes
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C
  • Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes
  • The bread is ready when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom
  • Allow to cool
  • For most enjoyment - serve slice when still warm!
